uknown warning light

Postby Silvergun » Tue Feb 14, 2006 3:00 pm

A warning light has shown up on my dash and im not sure what it is. It came on a week ago and only turns of once a turn off iginition. It is a symbo of a car with 3 dashes coming out of each rear corners. I thought it must be something to do with the lights but all the rear and front lights work fine. Tested indicators, brakelights park lights and reverse light. Anyone have any suggestoins what is wrong? Car is ae92 fxgt

it is defenetly for tail/brake lights, one of the bulb is out or sometimese what happens is the filament inside breaks off one side and connects to second set (park lights), so when you press the brakes it still glows (but trough different circuit)

Nah, its def the lights warning. One of your bulbs is rooted, or about to die.
